Alright so today I got this wild idea to make a Top 5 Harris and Walz meme list post. Figured it’d be simple, right? Famous faces, viral moments… how hard could it be?
Starting the Hunt
First thing, I cracked open my laptop and fired up the meme sites. Typed in “Harris Walz meme” expecting gold. Got… crickets. Seriously. Pages of outdated political cartoons and some guy’s barbecue photos. Big boomer moment. Guess the internet moved on faster than I thought.
The Deep Dive Disaster
Switched tactics. Went full detective mode:
- Searched Twitter hashtags from election week. Mostly spam bots yelling about aliens.
- Dug through Reddit archives. Found one pixelated Walz meme asking “Is this a bird?” Got distracted by cat memes for 45 minutes.
- YouTube comment sections? Pure chaos. Someone linked a goat screaming video claiming it was Harris. Not helpful.
My notepad looked pathetic. Just scribbles: “Bird meme?” “Goat??” “2020???” Started sweating buckets.
The Accidental Goldmine
Was about to quit when my phone buzzed. Group chat blew up over that old Walz bike clip – you know, where he wipes out? Froze the frame. Perfect. Slapped “ME WHEN MONDAY HITS” on it. Boom. First real entry.
That sparked it. Remembered Kamala’s “WE DID IT JOE” moment. Grabbed the screenshot, added shaking champagne bottles. Texted my cousin for advice. She said “make her say ‘WE ATE JOE’ about pizza.” Did it. Hilarious.
Scrambling to Finish
Panic-set in. Needed 3 more. Went nuclear:
- Harris’ purple suit inauguration photo. Made it say “WEARING THIS TO YOUR FUNERAL 💅”. Felt savage.
- Walz fist bumping Obama. Edited a Target bag into Walz’s hand. “GROCERIES ACQUIRED” sent my buddy group into hysterics.
- Last spot? Stole Harris’ “I’m speaking” glare. Changed background to a messy kitchen. Text: “WHEN HE SAYS ‘I’LL DO DISHES LATER’”. Done.
Saved everything in a folder called “MEME EMERGENCY”. My desktop looked like a digital war zone.
The Unplanned Success
Posted it late, figuring maybe 3 people would care. Woke up to my phone MELTING. Retweets exploding, tags full of “HOW DID YOU FIND THESE?!”. My dumb pizza meme got shared by some big account. Went fully feral checking notifications. Even saw one reposted with Russian subtitles. Absolutely lost it.
Learned my lesson: the internet has amnesia. And always pack extra coffee for meme archaeology. Still finding crumbs of Doritos in my keyboard.
